PERCY - NO MORE APPS PLEASE - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Meet Percy- the definition of a "good boy" At 1 year old and 57 pounds of golden lab love, Percy is everything you could hope for in a furry best friend. He's the total package: friendly, gentle, and just perfect. This handsome boy arrived on our 1/10 transport and he's doing very well in his foster home. Percy is the kind of dog that just fits - the one who greets you with a wagging tail and lots of love! He loves people, adores other dogs and kids and is fine with cats. This affectionate boy will follow you from room to room and he loves to give you kisses and hugs when he hasn't seen you in a while. Some of his favorite things include playing with toys, chews and his foster brother. He enjoys lying by the glass door and watching the birds, squirrels, and cars outside. Percy still has some puppy energy and would benefit from regular exercise and mental enrichment. He's very food motivated and a fast learner. Percy is smart, trainable, and picks up commands quickly! This good boy comes when called, knows sit and down, and he's working on other commands. Percy is still working on his leash walking skills - he loves to walk but pulls a bit. His foster has had a lot of success using a harness with a front clip. Percy is fixed, up to date on vaccines. Percy tested positive for heartworm and has begun treatment. We are looking for a foster to complete his treatment here in NJ with 2 visits to Barnegat Animal Clinic. His adoption fee will be $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION!
